Why it matters
The ALORAIR Sentinel Pro 35X Dehumidifier is a whole-house (ducted) dehumidifier, rated for 1000 square feet.
Aim for 40 to 60 percent relative humidity indoors: drier air irritates airways and skin, wetter air feeds dust mites and mold.
The listing names a built-in condensate pump, a drain-hose connection, Energy Star qualification and a commercial-grade build.
A condensate pump pushes water up and out through a hose, to a sink, a window or a drain above floor level, so the unit never stops for a full bucket.
A drain hose lets it run without emptying a bucket, as long as the hose runs downhill to a floor drain.
At its stated 266 watts, running non-stop uses about 6.4 kWh a day; in practice the compressor cycles off once the room reaches the set humidity.
Its rated area of 1,000 square feet is one of the smallest ratings we cover: 11 of the 99 dehumidifiers with a stated figure come in lower, and the range runs from 110 square feet to 7,500 square feet.
Price-wise it sat in the cheapest third of the 12 whole-house models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.
It qualifies for our list Best Whole-House Dehumidifiers, where it is ranked against every model that meets the same rule.
